This week we read more from Sharon M. Draper's realistic fiction novel, Out of My Mind. In this part of the book we read that Melody was so happy because she, her mom, and her team were going to compete in Washington D.C. for the big trophy! However, when they got to the airport, they learned that the entire team left Melody behind. When they went to check in, Mom learned that all the flights were grounded because there was a snow storm in Boston, Massachusetts. They learned that the rest of the team got breakfast together and went to the airport early. Because they got to the airport earlier, they were able to grab the last flight out. Melody's dad was so mad that he punched the wall and hurt his hand. At the end of the chapter Melody said, "The morning started out like crystal, but the day has turned to broken glass." pg. 261 In the end, Dad told Melody that her team earned 9th place and an itty bitty trophy.
I'm confused why the team would leave Melody. Why would they do that to her? I don't understand how they could do that after all the hours of practice they put in to preparing for the competition. I think that Claire had something to do with it because she has made many comments about Melody being on the team.
